Liverpool continue to be linked with new left-backs, and Sean Kolasinac, Ryan Sessegnon, and Theo Hernandez currently on Jurgen Klopp's transfer radar, the latest name to enter the fray is Monaco full-back Benjamin Mendy.

"He [Mendy] lacked a certain rigor, symbolized by always arriving late for training".

Forget it. If Mendy arrived late for training at Liverpool, Klopp would probably banish him to train alone; dump him in the U23s; totally ignore him for an entire season, and then farm him out on loan in a desperate bid to get him out of the club.

Not that I'm suggesting that Klopp is the type of manager who reacts in a grossly disproportionate and unfair manner to comparatively trivial infractions. Perish the thought!
